Comment on Sears Tower vs. Willis Tower, Formerly Chicago by Sears Tower Fan Site

Sears Tower Fan Site — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 13:25:15 +0000

Sadly, the Willis Group bargained for the naming rights and got an even sweeter deal than they had hoped. Sears Tower’s owners are just as much to blame for this renaming travesty. They don’t respect the heritage of Chicago. Why should they when two thirds of the entity that is 233 South Wacker LLC are based out of New York?

The Willis agent responsible for negotiating the lease (who incidentally, is from New York), made the rather audacious remark “Sears? Sears?! I’d rather have it be the KMart Tower” — essentially refusing to sign the lease unless naming rights were included.

Also consider that New York-based Josh Kuriloff of brokerage firm Cushman and Wakefield proclaimed that changing the identify of the Sears Tower has been one his proudest career accomplishments.

I still commend you because I know plenty of people that are offended by Jewish holidays and christian holidays and they are miserable. So again thanks for true tolerance.

Thanks, Jose! I’m probably more tolerant of beliefs and institutions than I am of individual people…

Ms. Sarah Palin is gonna be qualificated pretty soon, like by 2012. Maybe you wanna vote for her then? She’s working on foreign policy by sending smoke signals to Medvedev from her house.

Holy Moly, Chie, why don’t you tell us how you really feel?!

Seriously: hear, hear! You’ve saved me the trouble of trying to put my feelings into words. As I’ve told you in our private opine-n-winings, I believe McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin as potential VP (and therefore, potential President) is contemptuous of women. As in: “hey, women won’t care whether or not she’s qualified; she’s female and that’s all THEY care about!”

Because McCain was also so obviously pandering to the right-wing extremists, I believe him now to be a contemptuous panderer.

Nicely said. I’ll add some interesting links in my next post.
